    Good afternoon everyone:wave:

    Well inspired by scamps...I went on a 1p hunt:j.......only to find mr t had kindly filled the moshi monster gum clip strips....with £1 ones:eek:

    I did find the chilli crisps in the clearance shelf with 31p yellow stickers covering the bar code:(

    Still a full carton of Jacobs on the top shelf..with not to be sold sticker on:(

    I really, really would like a box of those..

    Anyone in South Yorks found any????????:)


    On a plus point my buzz Danio yog kit came...I used 1 x 85p and 2 x50p mocs..(thanks mimi 1234 for the idea) as they are 3 for £2 in t

    But sa only looked at the top one so put 3x85p mocs through, so money off my shop. Also 2x 25p from shopitise for strawberry and raspberry flavours only...ends in 4 days.. So actually paid me to eat them:j:T

    Hth

    Hope the suns shining where you are...it isn't here
    Have a lovely afternoon/ evening

    Ttfn Mt2m:)

    Get someone tall to get the carton down and take the boxes out of it, I'm sure they won't be marked.

    I had to go and get a broom to get a box of the thorntons chocs down a couple of weeks ago but scanned at full price :(

    Yesterday around midday I was at Haslingden Tesco looking for 1p items. Tic Tacs had scanned full price in the morning (both varieties) at Accy having scanned for a penny 2 days earlier. The Jelly Beans were a penny at Accy, but at Haslingden there was a young man with a piece of paper checking the tic tacs. When I started looking he asked if I wanted any. They were spearmint, I told him I wanted fresh mint. He said he was looking for them as head office had sent through an EPW (Emergency Product Withdrawl) order on a list of items. He claimed it was because of there being something wrong with the products making them dangerous. I saw the list and it clearly said that the items on it had wrongly been reduced to clear at 1p. On the list were:

    Moshi Monsters sweets
    Tic Tacs (both varieties)
    Fizzers
    Jelly Beans.

    To double ckeck what was happening I went to Great Harwood, and found all these items missing, plus a box full of the Calofornia Honey Nuts was also missing from the shelf.

    So I decided not to continue on my search further a field. Just a heads up for anyone popping out specially.

    My store probably got the same memo. SV was called to my manned till to approve 1p items.

    On seeing what all i had she just smiled and said "i thought i got them all. Let him have them" :D

    :( I know not 1p but £3
    :D But I think £3 (SEL £3) is still grand for a huge box of chocs that are after Christmas dated ;)
    I even walked my trolley past the Trout that took the 1p ones off me, hoping she would rise to a challenge but she avoided me :rotfl:

    Good afternoon everyone:) - miserable day so probably best going round the shops:rotfl: - I'm starting off with my local Sains. this afternoon, which doubles as a T, for the stuff that's not avail. in A:D. I can't make up £20 on solely the items that are available in T (those items we are going to use at any rate) but you can be sure I will use some usable fillers!:) Then it'll be off to A, for Avs T, Avs S and Avs W:eek:. :rotfl::rotfl:Unusual that I do that many (of course I'll also have Avs M later) - but, of the items where I have a choice of which comp. to put them on, I've carefully been switching them so that I'm not buying one on one comparison and then not having that item available for use to make the exact 8:eek: on the other.

    I notice the Kingsmill really seeded are glitching on the above shop (they seem to glitch on and off), but we had a report recently that the S& G body responsive was no longer comparing to T, and the above suggests that the Cod Fish Fingers glitch is over:(. Does anyone know whether the Herby Potatoes are still going 39p vs T? (I particularly don't want them to fail to appear at all and leave the shop with 7 items.) Please share your latest info. on those! TIA:).
